Qualifications for Benefits. (a) The benefit carrier will determine whether an eligible employee qualifies for the benefits under the terms of the Plans. Any questions regarding an employee’s qualification for benefits under the terms of the Plans shall be determined by the carrier in accordance with the terms of the Plan and will not be arbitrable, except in the case where the denial is a result of the Employer failing to pay the required premiums to maintain the plan as negotiated or supply the necessary paperwork to the employee in a timely fashion. The benefits will be provided in accordance with the formal plan documents, or policies, and any issues with respect to entitlement or payment of benefits under any of the health and welfare programs will be governed by the terms of such documents, or policies, establishing the benefit in issue. The Employer’s liability is solely limited to arranging for the plans and paying its share of the applicable premiums. The Employer is not liable for any failure or refusal of coverage by a third party for any reason.

In the event the Company decides to change benefit carriers, the Company will (1) notify the Union ninety (90) calendar days prior to the change; and (2) agree that any change in carriers will not reduce the current level of benefits, eligibility requirements or benefit limitations.
Qualifications for Benefits.

To qualify for these benefits, any teacher who seeks to take early retirement the next school year must notify the Superintendent, in writing, by June 30th of the previous school year of his/her intent to retire.
